Nikoobakht’s research focuses on advanced materials and developing measurement methodologies to understand individual- or collective properties of nanowires. The ultimate goal is to control composition, orientation, dimensions, scale, and properties of nanowires. Progress in any of these directions is expected to impact the development of reference nanomaterials and industrial scale production of nanowires with controlled properties for useful applications such as light sources, photodetectors, sensors, and light harvesting platforms.
His work on growth and characterization of one-dimensional nanocrystals has been widely used and been cited more than 2500 since 2000. He has over 25 peer reviewed journal articles, and been involved as co-chair and session organizer in conferences such as ISDRS, APS and Nano-DDS.
